To flash cross regional fimrware you need to change you CSC code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491877
Also if you flash MJ3 build then your bootloader will be upgraded and you have to stay will MJ3 firmware, you cant then downgrade back to MJ1 firmware

BUMP
any luck anyone? still getin ext4 error

I want to know this as well. I have Malaysian fw on my phone but I want to switch to BTU. According to what I have read this should work because my current region is XX, however I have seen way too many people getting this ext4 error for me to try it.
Can someone give a definitive answer? I am on MJ3 with a region of XX. Thanks!

Flashed MJ6 onto my malaysian Note 3 successfully, though once there haven't been able to change my CSC since... Also MJ6 has the new bootloaders and I now have warranty void 0x1...
My CSC code was XME, now BTU....

How did you flash it to void warranty?

sorry to hijack
but what does BTU stand for?
and what's the two letters before MJ7?
like UBMJ7, what's UB?

CSC code for UK (no carrier) = BTU.
Revision of Android - MJ7, latest version released as of yet...
Not sure about the rest but it appears regional...
Flashed it after running through RDLV but had issues with WIFI and sd card... Flashed extracted modem from MJ6 rom, this sent me into a bootloop. Flashed stock MJ6 rom onto phone and fixed the bootloop but put new bootloaders on. At this point warranty void was 0x0. Tried Kingoapp to root hoping it wouldn't trip counter, it did...
New bootloaders are a mongrel....

Stay away from Kingo/vroot, xda has removed all links and closed the thread. It's full of malware / spyware and will send all personal details to a Chinese Web server.

just changed my firmware from xme to btu
just follow these from the s4 forum by kaushalls but use odin 3.04 and be patient it may fail for two time but will eventually will do it and run odin in normal mode not administrator mode
Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files
Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA
Extract zip to get tar.md5
Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)
Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery
Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via back up and reset option
Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device
and restart (go into recovery and see the csc btu being applied if yes then stop here,do factory reset and restart)
after this the next steps are optional
Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)
Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin
Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA
check csc by going to stock recoverry it will show manual mode at the bottom and then show btu csc applied

[Q] N9005 Trying to flash to other region firmware failed and bricked

Dear Friends,
I'm using N9005 on this N9005XXUBMJ1 firmware and trying to flash to the newer firmware from other region N9005ZHUDMJ8.
However, I've been getting an error "ext4 img" in ODIN and now my phone cannot boot and stuck on the download mode. So I decided to flash it back to its previous version N9005XXUBMJ1 but still not success and stuck on the same loop.
I have tried doing the emergency recovery from KIES, but having another error "[about] Fused 2 > Binary 1" (on the following screenshot)
Can anybody help me on this problem? I really like the phone and I really need it back.
Thank you

I just solved the problem by myself, it seems that there is a problem with the bootloader on the MJ8 version or something, so I use the MJ6 BTU firmware instead and it works. phewww

Having the same problem...which firmware is MJ6 BTU?
TIA

I think MJ8 is from Hongkong 16GB Model.

Either way the knox warranty void has been triggered. You also have the new bootloader meaning recovery through Kies won't work until your country gets the new bootloader stock.. You are essentially stuck using another countries rom now until your coutry/carrier upgrades their firmware with the new bootloader...
Forget Kies recovery working if things go wrong...

To answer my own question, this is the BTU (United Kingdom) firmware file that saved my otherwise bricked phone which got the MJ8 HK bootloader:
N9005XXUDMJ6_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU.zip

It should be possible, but might fail, so in any case make sure you download both the latest Hong Kong firmware (MK1) and the MJ7 BTU firmware just in case it fails you can flash MK1 on top and your device supposed to work fine.

[Q] Will changing CSC trip Knox?

My phone went off for repair, and now that Ive got it back its got Three UK branded firmware on it!
Rather than waiting two weeks for it to be sent back, I want to change the firmware myself.
I now have:
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005H3GDMJ2
Bootloader N9005XXUDMJ6
I did have:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CP: N9005XXUBMI6
CSC: N9005OXXBMJ1
I know I cant go back to the MJ1 build (I wish I could), but I do want to go back to a stock UK CSC (I know OXX is a stock Cyprus CSC).

Make sure the phone you've received after repairing is the one you've had before.
If it is them same phone I think you can flash your original firmware, including AP, CP and CSC.

You think I can flash the MJ1 firmware???
Could somone confirm this?
How can I flash the MJ1 firmware and keep Knox at 0x0?

- Your Knos is still 0x0?
- I didnt mean you can flash MJ1 over current MJ6. However you can flash MJ7 and higher (original firmware, with original region). I'm not sure if you can keep Knox at 0x0.

[Q] N9005XXUBMHL firmware

Hi my note 3 version n9005 has the following ap:
AP :N9005XXUBMHL
CP :N9005XXUBMHK
CSC :N9005OXABMHL
I could not find any information about this version, or anywhere to download it as a backup. In Kies region code is BTU so I found out that it is for Uk and Ireland. I found the firmwares for UK on samfirmware and it appears that the first released version is MI7.
Is my version a test firmware? I cannot get updates neither in kies or ota to MI7 or MJ1 and so on.
Is it safe to flash to MI7 with odin 3.09? Will it trip knox? If I succesfully update to MI7 will I be able to root with de la veda and preserve knox 0x0?
Does anyone else have this firmware? I've only seen very few people bring it up.
How can I dump my rom in order to have it as backup if flashing goes wrong? I'm not rooted.

As long as you're flashing a stock kernel it wont trip knox

You are trying to downgrade from FNG2 to END3 firmware and it is not possible.
That may brick your device

i reflash with N9005XXUFNG2_N9005ATOFNG1_N9005XXUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5 then sound back to work, also during flashing system there was no "invalid ..."
after this i made update via phone menu (intenet+wifi) to latest N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5 but knox 0x1 stayed
then i made root:
flash odin >> KERNEL_N9005XXUEND3.tar.md5 (got custom status) << then use towelroot than flash back to KERNEL_N9005XXUGNG1.tar.md5 and status changed to official .... but knox 0x1 still there...

hi again.
